Heisman-winner Kyler Murray is reportedly expected to enter the NFL Draft, and there is buzz that new Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury could take him with the top pick

Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray is expected to enter
the 2019 NFL Draft, according to a report.

Murray, a two-sport athlete, was drafted by the Oakland
A's and signed a contract, but now appears to be leaning toward
football.

If Murray enters the draft, it presents an interesting
scenario for the Arizona Cardinals, whose new coach Kliff
Kingsbury had previously said he would take Murray with the top
draft pick. The Cardinals own the No. 1 pick.

Murray was taken ninth overall in the MLB draft by the Oakland
A's and agreed to a $4.6 million deal. According to Slusser,
Murray entering the NFL Draft doesn't guarantee that he will
leave the A's, but it "increases the chances" that he'll
choose football over baseball.

Murray may have to make a decision by February 15, when
position players report to A's training camp. The NFL combine is
the next week, meaning Murray may have to lean one way or the
other toward the sport he intends to play.

If Murray chooses football, it may make for an interesting
scenario for the Arizona Cardinals and new head coach Kliff
Kingsbury.

The Cardinals have the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. In
October, when Kingsbury was still head coach of Texas Tech, he
said he would take Murray if he had the No. 1 pick.

Kliff Kingsbury back on October 28, 2018:

"Kyler is a freak.....I would take him with the first pick of the draft if I could."

The Cardinals took Josh Rosen with the 10th pick in the draft
last year. He started 13 games and largely struggled, completing
55% of his passes for 2,2278 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 14
interceptions.

Upon getting hired, Kingsbury raved about Rosen, calling him one
of the most talented throwers in the NFL.

But it doesn't sound like Rosen's presence would preclude the
Cardinals from taking Murray. ESPN's Adam Schefter said on "Get
Up!" on Thursday that the Cardinals could even look to trade
Rosen to make room for Murray.

Even if they kept Rosen, having two young quarterbacks on their
rookie deals might not be such a bad scenario. They could compete
for the starting job, with one serving as injury insurance, and
one could eventually become a trade asset down the line.

Murray's decision may be business-focused. If he was drafted with
the 32nd pick, he'd make about $8 million guaranteed.

According to Slusser, the A's would retain Murray's MLB rights,
even if he went to the NFL. While Murray's decision is yet to
become official, and a lot can happen between now and May, it
looks like the star quarterback is leaning toward football.
